I've often wanted at least three tags: 1) The genuine most official name of the place - in this case, Bairnsdale Centrelink 2) The best name to show on a map, given local context: Centrelink 3) A descriptive name, when I don't know 1). I feel weird tagging "name=Bowls Club" - that's clearly not the name, I just don't know the real name. Yet I would rather see "Bowls Club" on a map, than nothing. Steve
